Sabotage, violations
charged in elections
By JEFFREY WEEKS and
RODOVERTON
News Editors
Last week's freshman elections
for the UNCG Student Govern-ment
were declared void due to al-legations
of election code abuse
and reported sabotage against sev-eral
campaigns, according to SG
Vice-President Dawn Cannon.
Cannon said that the incidents,
which included the defacing and
destruction of candidates' posters,
originated from a"groupofoverly-competitive
freshmen who would
do anything it took to win." She
said that charges of sabotage were
brought to the SG office even be-fore
the elections were held.

Justice speaks on

North CarolinaSupremeCourt
Justice Henry Frye spoke Mon-day
night on "200 Years and the
Bill ofRights."
The lecture, held in Alexander
Lounge in Elliott University
Center, was sponsored by
UNCG's Political Awareness
Club.
Justice Frye outlined a basic
history of the Bill of Rights and
commented on the current court.
"Recent cases involving affirma-tive
action lead many to believe the
court to be tightening upon rights.'
In 1968 JusticeFrye, agraduate
of N. C. A & T and UNC Chapel
HillLaw School, was the first black
in this century to be elected to the
North Carolina House of Repre-sentatives.
SeeFRYBp.2
The controversy began when
SG Elections Board Chairman
Vinod Manchhani was told by
several candidates that two students,
Julie Stienberg and Rich Alvater,
had broken the SG election codes
by placing their posters in illegal
places.
According to the SG campaign
rules, no posters may be placed on
doors, glass, or painted walls in the
Elliou Center. Cannon said that
posters for the iwo candidates broke
these rules. Stienberg was running
for vice-president, Alvator for presi-dent.
Manchhani and Cannon then de-cided
to disqualify the two candi-dates
and sent them a letter inform-ing
them of (he decision. Accord-ing
to Manchhani SG was "just
following the by-laws."
Stienberg, after finding her
name left off the ballot, went to the
SG office where she was informed
that she had been disqualified.
Steinberg contended that her flyers
had been moved, and that she had
not placed them in illegal areas.
According to SG President Adri-enne
Cregar there has been some
evidence of sabotage in the elec-tion.
Steinberg said, "I think they
should have gotten in touch with
me sooner. The elections should
have been monitored more care-fully."
Al vator, whose name was also
left off the ballot, contended that
"something is not working right"

Triple assault occurs
after students chased
By RODOVERTON

Three UNCG male students
were assaulted by three attackers
early Saturday morning.
According to UNCG Director
of Public Safety Jerry Williamson,
the studentsdid nothing toprovoke
the attack that followed a chase
which lasted for nearly a half hour.
"There was no reason for the at-tack.
The attackers may have been
drinking," Williamson said.
While two students got away
nearly unscathed one student was
beaten badly, Williamson said. All
three were transported to the health
center and were later released.
According to one victim, the
three first encountered the assail-ants
in the parking lot on the corner
of Mclver and Walker Streets.
"They got out of their car and
came up tous on footand wanted to
know what we had said to them,"
the victim said.
"We said 'we didn't say any-thing'
because we hadn't"
The freshman then fled with the
other vicitms fleeing separately.
They all met near the log cabin
about IS minutes later, he said.
"We thought (the attackers)
couldn't see us but they drove by
and saw us," he said.
The victims were carrying their
bicycles on an embankment near
the tennis courts when the actual
attack started.
"I saw someone reach up and
grab (my friend) off his bike," he
said.
The three were then chased
further on foot and one escaped.
Williamson said thatDetective
LL Doug Shore has located the
driver of the car and has received a
confession from him.
